The post indicates that Microsoft is looking for a "a graphics hardware architect" for the Xbox Console Architecture group, its claiming is "responsible for defining and delivering next-gen console architectures from conception through implementation."

Microsoft states in the job posting that it's looking for someone who has a "solid understand of graphics hardware implementation, including design methodologies and production yield and cost analysis." It also wants someone who has experience taking "designs from investigation to end-customer shipment during their career."
